As a student-athlete on his way to Jimmy V's Sports Café, Josh Childress would walk past the athletic scholarship display in the Arrillaga Family Sports Center and see his picture associated with the Arrillaga Family Scholarship Fund.
"I always told myself that if I were financially able to do so, I would pay that back by providing the opportunity for another student," says Childress, who played basketball for Stanford from 2002 to 2004. "I grew up in the inner city, and my family would not have been able to afford my Stanford education without a scholarship."
Now a veteran professional player, Childress delivered on his promise with a $250,000 gift, which established the first summer athletic scholarship fund for Stanford student-athletes.
